Dynamic IT Leadership in Rapidly Scaling Companies with Bob Baumann
Scaling a company isn’t easy, and when you're responsible for IT, the challenges multiply fast.
In this episode, Bob Baumann, VP of IT at RoadRunner Recycling, dives into the realities of leading IT in a fast-growing company. He talks about how RoadRunner Recycling’s technology infrastructure was in shambles when he joined, with employees buying computers from Amazon and no formal processes in place. From there, he worked on scaling the company, streamlining IT operations, and implementing critical security measures like EDR and VPN solutions.
Bob doesn’t sugarcoat the challenges, explaining, “We had to onboard 65 people a month while managing everything else—it got overwhelming fast.”
Tune in now to learn how to keep your company’s IT operations on course as you grow!
